    Sold - My HDJ80 For Sale

    After much reflection and no small amount of reluctance I have decided to sell my HDJ80 24v manual diesel. I've owned it for the last 9 years and lavished lots of time, attention and money during this time. It's been on many trips to many countries in Europe during these years and clocked up an...

    Subjective MOTs

    Having passed last year with a bunch of advisories, which admittedly sent my eyebrows up at the time, today it sailed through with no advisories and having not addressed any of last years ones. I guess that's the system- but I do wonder if it's a butt covering thing. still ..... happy days

    80 Series OEM wheel carrier

    This is a genuine JDM carrier complete with all the parts needed to fit to your 80 (Except the upper strengthener which is fitted at build time at the factory and cannot be extracted.)

    Wedge Roof Box and Winch

    Ive just recently got an ikamper tent, so after many years use I am now selling my ever useful aluminium roof box. It'll be a shame to see it go, but it's a big thing to store. If someone would like to offer me £200 I'd let it go. I also have a refurbished Warn 16.5ti winch. Refurbished in...

    Old Birfs Needed

    So, my ABS ring saga continues and the clever MOT testers realise there are no ABS rings on my CVs and know what the tricks are to hide it, so my only option is to fit some. Typically, I can't find new ones, so if anyone has some old CVs knocking around that they could send me rings off, I'd be...

    Absent ABS Rings

    Not having ABS rings on my CVS, for several years I've benefited from a method of MOT testing where the car doesn't leave the tester's garage and so the ABS warning light does not come on. However, if the car is fully road tested then it becomes apparent that the ABS doesn't work because the...

    Leaky pipe ??

    Every year or so I wipe the oily mess off the top of the rocker cover and each year it slowly returns. It looks like it comes from the vacuum pipe running between the turbo and the white plastic thing in the centre of the pic. Anyone know what that bit is or what it does. Could it be that...

    Tentipi

    This is a Safir CP9 with groundsheet which sleeps 9 squished together or a family of 4 or 5 with dogs in comfort. It is a high end, very robust and long lasting all weather tipi. It’s Nordic in origin and probably one of the best you can buy. We have used it once for one night but for the...

    Transmission Question

    Over the last few thousand miles I have noticed a small clunk from what seems to be either the transfer box or rear axle. It is not alarming at all but I have noticed it only clunks when pulling away from stationary AND turning either left or right, e.g. from junctions. It does not happen when...

    Awning for Sale

    I have got one of these for sale. It's an Eezi-Awn 2.5m awning. I bought it from a bloke who brought it over in a container from SA with his Defender. It was brand new, I know, because I opened the box. I have used it once and it is still as new. It owes me £350 but I'll take £325 from a...

    Strange Noise - starting

    A while ago, I started up and the starter motor seemed to stick on as it continued to turn while the engine was running. Since then, after I start it up and the starter stops spinning as normal, I can hear what sounds like a dry bearing spinning to a standstill. It only ever happens when I...

    Batteries Going Flat

    Since getting back from our trek I noticed that the car wasn't bursting into life in the same way. Even less so if left more than a day or two. So, I first checked the batteries. The indicator on the DS one was showing black instead of green, so as a temporary measure I changed that over for...
